What makes you try harder each day? Still being sane? Seriously though, with 4 young children, a very fast-paced job, outside work as a charitable fundraiser, volunteer, event planner, and an historical clothier, I often think I am nuts, but I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband who helps me keeps all the plates spinning!

Describe the perfect day for you...I am always in awe of the Habitat for Humanity homeowners I meet. While they come from all walks of life, their dedication, perseverance, and shear tenacity are a common thread. They work for a better life for not only their immediate family, but also their community as a whole.

How do you make a difference each day?The book from an exhibit in Greenwich, England on the 400th anniversary of Elizabeth I death. The guest curator was my favorite historian David Starkey (refer to Question number 4…I am super geeky!). Not only did I get to meet Mr. Starkey, he signed my book! It is priceless!

Describe your most treasured item in your home?Geek Barbie! I am, of course, a girlie-girl who loves all things sparkly, but I am also a huge sci-fi fan, a historical clothier and yes...I have played Dungeons and Dragons in my time! There is nothing like wearing a rhinestone track suit and curling up with some Harry Potter!
